I bet you could set up something way cheaper. And I'm certain you know 10x more than me regarding servers, hardening, configuration, etc. And I'm certain you enjoy servers! For us, the cost works and we have appropriate margin for

We are indeed. Neither of us enjoy DevOps so we pay a premium to not have to manage servers. It brings a huge mental health benefit (we are a two person company), we're profitable and our monthly Lambda cost isn't that significant

It's interesting to see a multi-billion dollar company step into the privacy-first analytics scene. Moving from one centralized, tech giant to another. I was so fired up that I wrote this: https://usefathom.com/blog&#x2
